Barton 1792 Full Proof Bourbon Whiskey
Barton 1792 Full Proof Bourbon — 125-Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Barton 1792 Full Proof Bourbon is a Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at the exact proof it entered the barrel — 125 proof (62.5% ABV), undiluted and non-chill filtered — in a 750mL bottle.
Crafted at the Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky — one of the oldest distilleries in the state — and named for 1792, the year Kentucky achieved statehood, Full Proof is the boldest expression in the 1792 lineup. Because nothing is added and nothing is taken away after aging, the whiskey keeps its absolute structural clarity and a heavy, viscous mouthfeel — an uncut, unfiltered pour for drinkers who want the barrel exactly as the distiller found it. Awarded World's Best Bourbon at the World Whiskies Awards and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, it has become one of the most sought-after high-proof bourbons on the shelf.

- Palate: Big and full-bodied — brown sugar, dark chocolate, and charred oak, layered with baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Finish: Exceptionally long, warming, and spicy, with lingering sweetness and gentle oak.
